Roadway projects
Funding for Paseo del Norte design was kept intact during the 2020 State Legislative Special Session. Councilor Borrego continues to work to ensure Paseo del Norte is a Council priority through her advocacy for the Transportation Infrastructure Tax, (R-47) specifying $12 million for Paseo’s expansion from Kimmick to Calle Nortena. With this mandate the State Legislature approved $2.1 million in 2018 and $1.9 million in 2019. This funding provides enough money to begin the design and right-of way acquisition. The City Administration has hired a transportation design engineer for the project.
